LIC Jeevan Dhara

LIC Jeevan Dhara policy is a plan for those who do not have an existing policy scheme. Like any other pension plan, it too offers income after retirement at regular intervals with the accumulated bonuses. It is an annuity plan that commences once the final premium has been paid or purchased, after the passing of a specific period of time. In layman's terms, the pension is provided to the policyholder or the nominees after the vesting date of the pension plan.

Tax Benefits*

Under Section 88, the LIC Jeevan Dhara plan qualifies for tax benefits.

*Tax benefit is subject to changes in tax laws. Standard T&C Apply.

Maturity Benefits

The maturity proceedings can be converted into money, upto a maximum of 25%, by the customer without any tax levied upon the sum. The leftover balance is then turned into an annuity according to the applicable rates during the maturity of the plan. The customer can also choose to get pensions based on the entire corpus amount. The customer is also given a choice to select between five annuity courses of action. The choices are as listed below -

  • Life annuity would increase at the rate of 3% annually, i.e., every year.
  • The annuity would be paid throughout the life, i.e., the pension will be paid until the policyholder is alive.
  • The annuity would be paid throughout the life based on a set period interval which is selected by the policyholder. For example, for five years or 10/15/ 20 years.
  • The annuity would be paid until the policyholder is alive, and upon their death, the rest of the amount is paid to the nominee of the policy as a death benefit.
  • The annuity will be paid until the policyholder is alive, and upon the death of them, the pension will be continued in the name of the spouse. As long as the spouse is alive, they will be receiving a regular pension.

Death Benefits

Upon the demise of the policyholder, i.e., the customer, before the lapse of the plan time frame, the premiums which were paid until the death, not taking into account the extra or term assurance rider premiums, totalled with interest (rates as set by LIC) are paid to the nominees of the policy.

Premium Structure of the Plan

TheLIC Jeevan Dhara plan offers multiple time-related options when it comes to the payment of the premium. The customer can pay the whole sum at once or can choose to pay the premium monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. The customer can link the plan to their salary account and can also pay through automated salary deduction.

The customer is given a choice to set a 'Notional Cash Option.' This Notional Cash Option is not paid wholly and, along with the accumulated bonuses, becomes the maturity proceedings.

For annually paid premiums, the customer also gets to avail of a higher cover (optional) through the Term Assurance Rider.

If the policyholder passes away by committing suicide after the revival of a lapsed pension plan, then either the surrender value of the policy is paid, or 80% of the premiums paid are returned to the nominees. Whichever is higher in value is refunded to the nominees.
